my friend activated my new ipad4 with icloud but now he is died and my device asking for icloud account but i don't know what i shall do.. please help me.. my imei number is 01*********544
<Personal Information Edited by Host>There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

I have an iCloud account but I can figure out how to get to it from Finder
If you're trying to set up iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud credentials, then check the data you want to sync to your Mac. See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

How will have an option to create an icloud id
Hello there, vishal274.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
How do I sign up for iCloud?
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Hello,
I currently have a US iTunes Store account. But recently due to some circumstances i have got a Switzerland gift card. So when i type in the code it says "Your iTunes Store (U.S) does not match the gift certificate (Swiss)" how can i resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
BrainStormeI travel to the UK a lot and have purchased UK ITunes cards. The only way that you can use a foreign card such as yours is if you have an acct based in Switzerland. Now here's the problem with that, you have to also have a credit card that has a Swiss address that you can log into. Without this they will not let you use the cards.

I have an icloud account but my daughter also has an icloud account. We have them registered under different emails. When I try to sign her out of icloud on the computer it wants to delete calendar and contacts. how do i sign into my account with out messing up hers?
You need to setup your own user account on the computer to keep independent iCloud accounts, contacts & calendars. Then sign in to your iCloud account in your user account.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that, because when I select delete account it prompts me to sign in on the old email address which doesn't exist anymore!! Please help!

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?
Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!! -

Why can't I delete iCloud account but keep my photos
I have a Macbook Air, and two iPads. All are running Mavericks or above. When I set up this OS, I was asked a bunch of questions about the iCloud. I do my own backups. I don't really need the iCloud, but naively I thought what is the harm.
I managed to turn off most of what I didn't want for the Macbook Air, so I think I'm good there.
But it's the iPads I am worried about. I get asked to enter my iCloud password at random intervals. It's intrusive and annoying. I don't need an iCloud, so I thought I'd turn the feature off.
But to turn it off it says it's going to delete my photos FROM MY DEVICE. Not from the iCloud, but from the Device!
My question is why does Apple think it is OK to remove MY files from MY device that I own and save them to an area that I will no longer have access to?
I don't think that Apple is stealing my photos for nefarious purposes. I don't think Apple cares about my photos. So I don't understand why they would take them away from me.
I tried to login to the iCloud and see what photos they have. And you know what? I can't. If I try it in Safari on the iPad, I get Set up iCloud ( already done), install find my iPhone, and Find my Friends. If I login from my Macbook, I have no photos showing, which I think it because I never enabled photo backups on that device. I can't see the ones from my iPad, which are on the SAME ACCOUNT. Now I'm puzzled by the point of this iCloud feature. I would have thought it was a way to access my stuff from anywhere. I guess not? Then what IS the point?
Like I said I have a backup of the stuff on the iPad, so that's not the problem. The problem is why is Apple making me jump through hoops to restore my own files that I did not delete? It's the exact opposite of what I want to happen. I want to delete photos from the cloud and not from the device.Hey there mlz89,
It sounds like you want to remove an account you have set up to use Messages. You should be able to do this with the Internet Accounts section of the computers system preferences, or modify an accounts settings here:
List of account features or list of account types (on the right)
If an account is highlighted on the left, its features and settings are listed on the right. Select the features you want to use and change settings as you like.
If no account is highlighted on the left, you can add one by clicking a provider such as iCloud on the right.
Delete
To remove the highlighted account and turn off all its features, click Delete (–).
If you remove an account while your Mac is set up for iCloud Keychain, the account is also removed from your other Mac computers set up for iCloud Keychain.

How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone
how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
How to delete an email account on your iPad

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.
Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).
